I found my love for seeing the world when I was young, so life to me has always been a series of unique journeys. I am passionate about creating sensational holidays and amazing memories. ​

I've been in the industry since folding t-shirts for my brother's tour operator business more than 30 years ago. I have been an independent travel expert since 2006. ​

This weekend has been all about refreshing my travel knowledge to help create unforgettable memories for my clients.

From exploring incredible destinations like Ibiza, Australia, New Zealand, and Estonia to imagining cruising along the Danube, the inspiration has been endless.

I’ve also loved reconnecting with Not In The Guidebooks—their new launch, Colombia, promises some truly unique experiences.

All of this from the beautiful Beech House in Hampton-in-Arden, surrounded by fantastic colleagues and friends at my final conference of 2024.

Here’s to helping my clients create amazing memories in 2025 and beyond!

It’s true what they say..
When you love what you do, it never feels like work.

For over 34 years, I’ve turned dream holidays into reality – from city breaks and fly & flops to multi-centre adventures, round-the-world escapes, and sporting trips. I pour my passion, expertise, and care into every trip I create.

If you’ve booked with and loved the experience, please take a moment to comment, like, and share.

Today’s all about supporting small businesses – your support means the world! I couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you 🥰

Last week in South East Asia 🥰

Filled with so much laughter, one of the best parts of my work is meeting strangers who become friends because of shared experiences.
Just a few of the highlights were a couple of bike rides, ( for the first time in about 35 years) a cooking class, yoga in the outdoors and a boat trip across the South China Seas..
Look out for my blog..

Weekend exploring in my favourite city. Love the vibe of this metropolis. Also so many new places to discover. 8 times since Dec 21. Think that may just make me a Thailand expert.
